Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator

Question

Hi Guys,

I'm currently developing an app for pocket pc 2003 se emulator using visual studio 2008. there is a code that I need in order to get the MAC address of the device. I got a code from the internet, but it only works on windows form, not on the emulator. i wanted to use the same code, but i get the error stating Type 'networkInformation' is not defined. I tried to import the system.net.networkInformation namespace, but it is not available. may you please help?

Thank you in advance. (Selolo)

Hello,

I think you can use GetAdaptersInfo API to get the MAC address.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916102.aspx
You can follow these codes in C++

// Fetches the MAC address and prints it
static void GetMACaddress(void)
{
  IP_ADAPTER_INFO AdapterInfo[16];       // Allocate information 
                                         // for up to 16 NICs
  DWORD dwBufLen = sizeof(AdapterInfo);  // Save memory size of buffer

  DWORD dwStatus = GetAdaptersInfo(      // Call GetAdapterInfo
    AdapterInfo,                 // [out] buffer to receive data
    &dwBufLen);                  // [in] size of receive data buffer
  assert(dwStatus == ERROR_SUCCESS);  // Verify return value is 
                                      // valid, no buffer overflow

  PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pAdapterInfo = AdapterInfo; // Contains pointer to
                                               // current adapter info
  do {
    PrintMACaddress(pAdapterInfo->Address); // Print MAC address
    pAdapterInfo = pAdapterInfo->Next;    // Progress through 
                                          // linked list
  }
  while(pAdapterInfo);                    // Terminate if last adapter
}

Or you can P/Inoke this API in C#.
